"Rhubarb followed Sister Xuan Wu to play in the woods." Xiaocao held up the melon, "Sister, taste it, grandma's family brought it, it's sweet." ”

Xiao Nuan smiled. How many melons did this girl take when she left? I can't complain that the basket for putting melons in the courtyard is empty.

He Fenglu, who was trimming the cotton tree, said calmly, "Little Auntie, Fenglu has loaded two back." ”

Lian Nian and Youyu also said, "The slave and maid are also brought!"

"You're all very capable!" Xiaocao was very satisfied.

Xiao Nuan nodded, and took a big bite on her sister's hand, which was indeed much sweeter than when she ate it at Chen's house. "Don't eat too much and hurt your stomach, our melons should arrive tomorrow."

"Do we have that too?" Xiaocao was pleasantly surprised, and the Qin family also straightened up.

"The third master sent a batch of things, there should be a lot of delicious food." Xiao Nuan smiled, "If there are many melons, let's give everyone a share, this thing can't help but be released"

"Yay! Great! Grandma Qin San just asked Xiaocao for half a melon with a gourd, saying that she would keep the melon seeds and plant them next year, and our mother also said that she would plant them. "The grass is as cheerful as a little lark, so cute that people want to grab it and nibble on it.

"One side of the water and soil raises one side of the melon and fruit, and I don't know if we grow it sweet." Qin smiled.

"If it's not sweet, let's eat it as a vegetable melon." Xiao Nuan handed the kettle she brought over to her mother.

Qin Shi took a few sips from the spout, "Why don't you rest in the house for a while?"

Xiao Nuan smiled, "My daughter is well, and it is serious to help my mother clean up cotton." ”

"There are so many people, but you are the only one." The Qin family felt sorry for her daughter, she had just had such a big trouble with her father, and she bothered to talk about it, "Why does the Qin Dong family want to help your father print and sell the manuscript?"

This can indeed make money, but it also makes the surname Chen have a good reputation! Qin couldn't figure it out.

Xiao Nuan explained, "My daughter thinks that the Qin Dong family may be doing this for our sake. Daddy's reputation is good, and there is no harm to his daughter and Xiaocao. Besides, my father's reputation for not loving money and being simple has spread, what's wrong with it?"

Only then did the Qin clan understand, yes! If everyone in the world knows that Chen Zumo doesn't love money, it would be good for his daughters to carry such a reputation on his back, what would it be good for Chen Zumo?

That's a money-loving and good-looking person, I'm afraid that if I twist my heart again, I have to pretend on the surface!

"After this pen, my father will publish a book in the future, I am afraid that it will have to go through the hands of the owner, and the owner will make money and my father will earn fame, what does my mother think?" Xiao Nuan smiled evilly.

The corners of Qin's mouth couldn't stop picking up, Chen Zumo can read and write, what can he do? His head is not as good as her daughter's, why is her daughter so powerful!

"Niang will give you pancakes and cucumbers to eat at noon, and put new garlic!"

"Good!" Xiao Nuan thought of the fresh cucumbers she had just picked, and she was greedy.

"Our cucumber water this year tastes good, let the people who came bring two baskets back to the third master and Niangniang, and invite them to try it too."

"Well, I listen to my mother."

A few secret guards working in the fields listened to the conversation between the mother and daughter, and felt very disagreeable.

Most of the "great achievements" of Miss Xiao Nuan have seen it with their own eyes, and Lord Xuanqi was almost crippled, plus Zimu Kai is always talking about it, they basically can't face the cucumber anymore, let alone shoot the cucumber.

I don't know what the third master will think when he receives a basket of cucumbers from Xiaonuan and asks him to pat and eat......

Unaware of Xiao Nuan's face stretched. What she wants is actually very simple: her mother, Xiaocao and rhubarb are fine, and then she has nothing to do to clean up her scumbag.

No, she accidentally forgot the third master, and Xiao Nuan stuck out her tongue.

The cotton has grown three to five branches, and now it is the branches or the little crazy forks that have been drilled out of the trunk that have nothing to do. The energy of each cotton plant is limited, so make sure that this energy is used for growing peaches and not for growing useless crazy forks.

Each cotton plant is cleaned up once, and after about ten days, it is time to clean up a second time. Coupled with weeding, taking insects, and watering the fields, it can be said that there is work every day in the cotton field, and it can really tie people to the field, which is more tiring than heavy rice and wheat.

But watching cotton grow day by day, I feel a sense of accomplishment. Xiao Nuan emptied her head and worked hard next to her mother.

When it was almost noon, after Xiao Nuan returned from the field to the courtyard and entered the study, Xuan Er came to report, "An hour ago, Li Qianer stole into the woods in the south of Zhuangnan and was scared away by our people. When the brother who went to inquire heard the news, the girl's master was no longer setting up a stall in Dingzhou to tell fortunes, and had packed up and came north alone. ”

The master's outfit is actually just a rag and a small rag bag, and he really doesn't need the help of his entourage.

The master went north, either to go to Beijing to find his aunt or to find her, which shows that the situation in Beijing has improved, Xiao Nuan smiled and bent his eyes, "Pay attention to the master's news, although it is reported." ”

"Yes."

"What's the news from the Wu family?"

After Xuan Wu came, Xuan Er did his old job most of the time: he went to the shadows to protect Xiao Nuan and inquired about the news. Her business ability is very good, "Wuhuan still trains soldiers and horses every day, and there is no bad news from the master's side, Gao Chong has brought grain and grass weapons to Mobei, with his protection, the master will be safer." Another point, yesterday, the Wu family sent a housekeeper to contact several major scholarly clans in the south, wanting to find a wife candidate for Wu Huan. ”

Wuhuan is seventeen years old, rather than waiting for Emperor Jianlong to suddenly marry the Wu family, it is better to choose a suitable wife to marry first.

However, why did the Wu family choose this time?

Xiao Nuan raised her eyes, "Could it be that the Wu family also has spies in Beijing?"

The Wu family knew that Emperor Jianlong had been troubled and low in energy recently, so he delegated part of his authority to the cabinet, and Xiao Nuan only got the news yesterday.

King Sheng, who has a lot to do with the Wu family, is now walking in the cabinet, so the Wu family wants to take this opportunity to do this big thing?

Xuan Yi said with a smile, "Not only the Wu family, but almost every family has more than three or four civil and military officials." In addition, Zheng Duchu, the nephew of Cheng Wujie, the right minister, arrived in Dengzhou yesterday and began to contact the Qi family and the Jiang family, and seemed to be very interested in the cotton business. ”

Xiao Nuan was surprised, "He only arrived yesterday, and you got the news today?"

Xuan Yi replied, "The third master has ordered that the news obtained by the royal palace Tanma, as long as it is related to business and commercial affairs, must be sent to the girl." We use flying birds to transmit unconfidential information, and Dengzhou is only more than 100 miles away from us, so our subordinates received it today. ”

Xiao Nuan's heart flowed with indescribable tenderness, "What did the third master say about this?"

"The third master didn't hand over any news, so he should have let the girl make up her own mind." Xuan Er is well versed in the temper of the third master.

Make up your own mind? Xiao Nuan frowned and pondered.

Tianzhang Pavilion, the power center of the Great Zhou, is composed of seven people. Among them, Zuo Xiang is the queen's younger brother, Ning Liangyong is the grandfather of the fourth prince, An Guogong used to be a person from the eldest prince's side, she doesn't know the position of King Jian, Lu Zhengqi is Emperor Jianlong's person, and Zuo Xiang is an eight-sided exquisite guy.

These people check and balance each other, and no one dares to act rashly, which is also the trade-off technique of Emperor Jianlong.

When the third master entered the cabinet, he was the confidant of Emperor Jianlong, and he could be said to be the number one person in Beijing that no one wanted to provoke.

Now even the birds and rats of Da Zhou know that the cotton business in Dengzhou is Shengwang's, so they know that this business may make a lot of money, but they don't see the official moves.

At this time, the right minister sent people north to Dengzhou to inquire about the cotton business, what was the purpose?

Xiao Nuan frowned, "Give me a copy of what you have mastered, Zheng Duchu's details." ”

Xuan Er immediately handed over a piece of paper, Xiao Nuan took it and sighed in his heart, there is a feeling of being a capable subordinate, it is really refreshing!

The news that used to make her scratch her head is now at her fingertips.
